Ahh...the Treadmill
So after Vitamin C and hot tea with honey I came to the conclusion I would be able to get my afternoon work out in. (even feeling a bit under the weather)... So I ran home to get myself ready and yes I am the type who likes to listen to my i-pod when I run and it is usually set at a high volume... So I pick my treadmill at the gym and start my 1/4 mile workout which is a nice steady power walk. I then pick it up to my mile pace and I' m on my way. As I'm running my happy pace I notice a guy in a sweatshirt come up next to me and check out how I was running ( not as in form.. I'm talking about the annoying competitive type that HAS to run faster and longer than you no matter what it takes) So as I'm in the zone I have Mr. Competitive to my left and here we go another dude walks up to the open treadmill on the right. Now don't get me wrong I don't mind people working out next to me but I tell ya it seems that I always get stuck with the people who are the most obnoxious... So as I'm running I glance over at the new guy running and what do I see.... The next ROCKY.... This guy is running and throwing boxing punches into the imaginary punching bag in front of him. I'm not even joking the only thing that would have made this sweeter would be if Eye Of the Tiger would have come on my i-pod play list (sadly it did not) . So here I am sandwiched between Mr. Competitive and Mr. Rocky... What is a girl to do??? Hopefully next time I hit the treadmill the distractions will be kept at a minimum
